Terminating sexism

I wonder what would have happened

If Sarah Connor had been a Peruvian.

Would she have been too busy cooking,

Too occupied to run?

Would she have said:

“ay no mas, Señor Terminator”

“I’m cooking up a causa. I’m busy in the kitchen

“Could you come back later?”

Would the mother of the rebel force

Have just accepted her fate

When the man with a gun and a telephone book

Came to end the life she’d create?

Or would she be more like the film

And be a tough kick-ass

And not accept injustice and inequality

Not allow those things to pass?

I think I prefer the second

The one who makes things fairer

So I’ll strap on my boots and big girl pants

I’m going to be like Sarah.

I’ll ask what she would do

If she was molested on the bus

She’d nut that fella in the face

And turn the air blue with a cuss.

Now I’m not planning to be rude,

There’s no need for aggression

I’ll just say it like it is

Encourage others to use discretion.

Sarah wouldn’t accept disrespect

From randoms in the street

Or domestic violence in the house

Those bullies she would beat.

So I’m going to be like Sarah

To inspire others and maybe

to sexism and inequality we can say

“Hasta la vista, baby!”
